what is this anti-earth smear campaign!
Miranda Devine on the CSIRO, where she once worked. All too true I'm afraid, and not only at CSIRO.

..But don’t pretend it took courage [Cadel Evans] to parrot what the government, the media class, the funding agencies and, for a long while, the public were all saying, too.
There’s nothing brave in the sound of baa.

Keep flapping, is that a piece of sky falling?
CHINESE police have detained more than 100 people, among them members of a fringe Christian group, for spreading rumours about the world's impending end, state media reports.

..Mr. Kent said Canada could meet its commitment only through extreme measures, like pulling all motor vehicles from its roads and shutting heat off to every building in the country. He said the Liberal Party had agreed to the treaty “without any regard as to how it would be fulfilled.”
He also said the failure to meet the targets would have cost Canada $14 billion in penalties..
I'll go back to the facts Wayne.
1) The temperature on earth is a lot warmer in the past 30 years than it has been for 10's of thousand of years.
2) There is scientific certainty that green house gases like Co2 and methane (and others) trap heat in the atmosphere. Historically this has given earth a habitable environment
3) The amount of GG gases in the atmosphere has increased from 280 PPM to 390 PPM since the start of the industrial revolution in 1800's.
4) There is overwhelming consensus amongst climate scientists that this increase in GG gases plus the increases that will occur as we continue to burn fossil fuel will be the dominant factor in our climate causing temperatures to continue to rise. http://www.skepticalscience.com/print.php?r=96
5) There is absolute certainty that as temperatures rise a number of ecosystems will release even more GG gases which will speed up the process. Melting of the tundra, warming of oceans which will release CO2 and about 12 others
6) We can see and measure the effect of relatively small increases in temperature across the world. Plants , animals and ecosystems are rapidly changing.
Just listened to a report on Local ABC radio that in 2011 the ocean temperature rose 6 degrees off the West Australian coast from a heat wave. Killed off a lot of fish stock apparently.
It takes more than a heat wave to move temperatures up like that.
Are the powers that be keeping science releases in check to stop the hysteria perhaps.

AN INQUIRY should be held into Commonwealth science agency CSIRO and the treatment of its 6600-strong workforce amid claims ''of criminal conduct and commercial fraud'', the federal opposition says...
...''There may have been tens of claims of workplace bullying, intimidation and/or harassment, and other related forms of misconduct that have not been fully or adequately investigated, and where a strong possibility exists that, at the very least, due process has been breached.''....
...Chief executive Megan Clark has assured staff the CSIRO is ''on track'' to comply with the improvement notice.
The CSIRO staff association, a division of public sector union CPSU, has called for a ''zero-tolerance'' approach by senior management to problems with bullying and harassment.
But Mrs Mirabella said in her letter she was not satisfied with the response and highlighted the existence of a group of aggrieved former CSIRO public servants who were campaigning for change in the organisation..

Would love to know more about this.

The bullies at CSRIO are probably trying to stifle those knowing the truth as to how bad things are really starting to get with the man made co2 emissions
Researcher quits over science agency interference
Australian research funding body under fire for ordering major changes to a peer-reviewed paper.
By Stephen Pincock: http://victimsofcsiro.com/2012/12/17/article-posted-in-nature-magazine/
...Australia’s national science agency has been accused of trying to substantially alter a peer-reviewed paper that was critical of carbon-trading schemes, leading a prominent researcher to quit the agency this week...[Paper author] Spash resigned on 2 December, just days after those changes were outlined...
...In a letter sent to Australia’s science minister Kim Carr this week, he writes: “When Dr Spash sent us a copy of the suggested changes to the paper, it became clear that the CSIRO is asking not for minor but for major changes in the central arguments of the paper. This is clearly unacceptable to the author. I should add that is also unacceptable to me as the editor of the special issue. It involves interference in our own peer-reviewing procedures that would be incompatible with the academic integrity of the journal.”...
...According to O’Neill, the original paper argued that emissions-trading schemes will not solve, and potentially could exacerbate, the problem of human-induced climate change. “The version as rewritten by the chief executive of the CSIRO and her staff wants him to argue for a weaker position, that any problems with emissions trading are a matter of design,” he writes. “If the chief executive of the CSIRO wants to argue for a different position to that of Dr Clive Spash she can do so by publicly replying to the paper and presenting arguments for the contrary position.”...
...“What is clearly improper is for her to use her position to insist on changes to the paper which alter its conclusions prior to publication.”...
...Spash says that the affair reflects wider problems within the agency. “CSIRO cannot continue to operate as an organization which favours some and not others due to their policy opinions...
